Wekiva Canoe Trip To Aid Audubon Society

April 10, 1985

The seventh annual Florida Audubon Society Canoeathon is scheduled for April 20 along Central Florida's Wekiva River. Canoeists from throughout the state will compete for prizes in five categories -- corporations, individuals, public service, school groups and audubon chapters.

Anyone age 15 or older may participate with minimum pledges from sponsors of $25. Participants may register for a 19- or 11-mile route down the river.

Canoes will leave King's Landing from 8 to 10 a.m. for the 19-mile route and from 8 a.m. to noon for the 11-mile route. Entry fee is $14 per canoe and includes registration, canoe rental and admission to a barbecue. Cost is $10 for persons who bring a canoe to use. Proceeds will benefit the society's wildlife and conservation projects. Deadline for entry is Friday. For details, call 647-2615.
